Devo - Gut Feeling - 1977 - one of the first time in live 

After all these years of assuming that they were a mostly-techno band, I honestly believe that Devo is, first and foremost, one of the best punk bands ever to come straight outta Akron, OH. RIP Bob Casale. #Devo

Devo is criminally underrated.

This is why RU-vid exists. Where else would you be able to see this?

This song is one of the best build ups ever.

It's Punk, it's Surf, it's geek... Fantastic.

Im only 18 but this is easily one of my favorite songs ever. The personality in the singing, the catchy guitar, their whole aesthetic, they’re incomparable.

I seriously get shivers every time I watch this. Probably my all-time favorite Devo song, with an extra long intro, and such emotion in the performance. For people who really GET how awesome Devo was/is, this was a pivotal moment.

The intro to this song can NEVER be too long!

One of the raddest early U.S. punk artifacts. This version gets so wild and intense it almost makes the Dead Boys sound tame....DEVO during this period were so off the hook, so badass, it's absurd...

The future still hasn't caught up with Devo.

If they ever invent time travel. I know where I'm going.

Saw them live in 1979. Speaking as a drummer, I don't think I have ever seen a tighter band. Man, they were playing some really hard stuff...and they nailed it like it was nothing. And jumped around with funny hats on too...

This is my favorite Devo song. Imagine tripping and speeding in Radio City Music Hall in the 80s losing your mind dancing and jumping and singing through this song. That was me

This genuinely awe inspiring. A bunch of teenage art students unleashing their raw fucking talent

Watching this on a crappy VHS tape is absolutely perfect. Raw gold.

God I hope this stuff is still around a thousand years from now so people will know what mankind is capable of.

Thousands of great drummers but only one Alan Myers. RIP Alan and Bob. Devo was truly meant to be.

Kudos to the guys who filmed this. Cameras in 1977 were large and heavy, and needed a separate recorder for on-location shooting; a two-person job. Camcorders weren't invented until 1983.

Amazing from day one

Devo is way under estimated. The musicality is amazing. One of the all time best bands on the planet.

What a time to be living when punk music was around and bands like this existed. It made you feel alive.

That Gut Feeling intro is pure bliss.

This is a piece of history. The scratchy black and white film just adds to to the feeling. Slap your baby down again.

Love the way Alan Myers switches effortlessly from a jazz grip to a regular at 1:27.

It was fun when all this stuff surfaced, looking like nothing that had come before. I remember seeing Devo on SNL and everyone talking about it the next Monday at school. It was a great time.

This is FABULOUS!! Makes me feel 14yrs old again!!

I had the privilege of seeing these bad boys in Sheffield England 1978 ~ I still havn't recovered!!!!

Wow... what a difference a year makes..... I saw them in 78 at Sheffield Civic Hall UK and they played their album perfectly...and with the yellow boiler suits... And made a major impact on my life eversince.......

This is chaos made into order and art. Nothing done today can match it.

my 5 year old son loves DEVO! It's one of the only bands he knows the name of.

I saw them Sheffield UK 1978. Still recovering. Mind Blown!!! FOREVER!!!!

Ahhh 70’s fun my brain and ears rerun . Devo thanks for bringing it .

Mothersbaugh. What a great front man, what a great live band. By the time I saw them live (1980) their live act was truly performance art.

I was 14 and immortal, and look now - I'm still alive.

When I liked this video I said "better late than never"...

The world needed Devo.

Found this 5 years ago. Coming back nearly every day. Devo at its best.

Perhaps one of the most under-rated bands?

Between the 1:04 step up on the crescendo , or the 1:30 grip switch on the drum sticks, or the way Alan Meyer's has the cymbals swaying @ 2:18 this is the greatest build up I have see lol

possibly greatest band ever. no-one like them at all. punk rock at its finest.

Alan Myers is the best drummer to emerge from the punk era.

That was badass. Still feels fresh and full of energy

I can’t even put in to words how good this is.

Oh for a time machine. That's where I'''d go. To that show!

This is the PERFECT version of this song!! Alan Meyers is the most amazing drummer ever. Just watching him in this video is not fit for words. I just keep watching it over and over he is about to tear that kit to shreds!!! I LOVE IT!!!

What a performance! My favorite song of theirs.

Devo were so tight, even way back near the beginning, incredible.

I was in San Diego in 2010 and saw DEVO. I was sad when they didn't play this.

Fucking incredible. The most underrated American rock band ever!

Happy Birthday, Mark Mothersbaugh! This is my favorite Devo song!!! 🤘🤘🎼🎶💙

The most original band I have heard in the early 80’s. Amazing music

SO original, so punk, so nerdy, so cool so DEVO.

Absolute mastery. Going from here to programmed drums proves de-evolution.

Watched this video over 100 times and still i get Goosebumps everytime I see it. I see a woman in the crowd putting her hands on her ears! 🤣🤣 This gig must have created a lot of grunge musicians im sure.

One of the best songs EVER

Saw them live in the summer of '80 on the Freedom of Choice tour. Great, tight band and a terrifically inventive presentation. Still a fan after all these years.

The mark of a great band is their music still rocks your soul 44 years later.

Back then, they sounded like a surf music band who dropped acid in the middle of the show. Funny how much these guys remind me of The Ramones sometimes, other than their looks and keyboards of course. I could imagine The Ramones covering Mongoloid. Both had great rythm guitar and not much lead. Devo was a punk band with keyboards. These guys always bring me back to 8th grade. RIP Bob!

I saw them au Palace in Paris, France.... It changed my life. 1978 I think.

Amazing video.... Amazing band.. Greetings from Chile 2021

Wow! Testament to how good these guys are/were. This song sounds pretty much like it did on the record including the segway into Slap Your Mammy. I was in a high school band in the 80s and played Gut Feelin at parties and it was always a favorite, people screamed for it by name. Our 3-piece hardly did it justice but the energy of this song still always rocked the house. Rock on DEVO!

How could anyone give a thumbs down to this!!!?

My favorite band . My favorite song .

There are songs that make your body move all by its own without you even noticing. This is one of them.

I do not know but I am coming back to Devo since my childhood. Ones one guy told me it was good. Yes, he was right. I listen to Devo even more often now than before. I like it.

Let me sneak this one in. A re-post from a year ago. Please watch this whole 6 1/2 minute song. It;s truly SUPERB. . Man, this is one hell-of-a performance. If I remember correctly, at the outset of their career, many felt Devo was sort of novelty/joke band. Time has certainly corrected this impression and Devo now stands as a highly skilled, unique sounding group. How can you not love their new wave/punk sound? It's certainly appealing on many levels. Devo's first single Mongoloid/Jocko Homo had been out only four months before this Max's show. From what I've heard David Bowie and other musicians were in the audience at this show and Bowie was so impressed he introduced Devo when they played again at Max's later that year. So if their first official recorded effort had been out so recently how could Devo be so polished and professional? Answer: Devo had been playing as a six piece unit as far back as 1973 at Kent State Creative Arts Festival where two of them were enrolled. The day Mongoloid/Jocko Homo was released Devo played a free concert at Akron Arts Institute basement and offended many in the audience by playing Mongoloid when, in fact, there was a badly retarded child in the audience. (For a real eye opener pick up Hardcore Devo vol 1 and 2. These are home recordings from 1974-77 and show what a fully developed band Devo was many years before their official debut.) As I write this on record store day 2014 the concert with Bowie announcing the group is just released. But its run of 2000 is gone in a flash and in true entrepreneurial spirit copies are now up for bid/sale on ebay for large amounts of greenbacks.

When he sang, "hhhbllreladdaaa beelaamaagg soallaakpp" It really got me. Truer words were never spoken. A poet for the ages.

One of the best songs ever

My favorite Devo song of all time!

Balls to the wall rock n roll right there!!!!

Back in the 70's Playboy magazine had an article about interesting gifts you could buy. One of them was you could hire a Devo to play at your birthday party, just 25,000 plus transportation. What a bargain!!!

Punk and rock and new wave. Hard to wrap my head around. Love them.

Saw them in 1980 when I was in high school and ushering at the Fox Theater in Atlanta. We saw a lot of concerts there, Devo was the best. No one really appreciated how good their music was back then, thought they were just a novelty act, but they could rock!

What a band they were. Just hanging there in time forever. Well done Devo.

I remember the 1st time I heard DEVO .. my brother played a cassette, I was instantly converted

That bass...OH MY GOD

Darn right they are! Im 57 n i still love em!

One of the greatest intros in rock n roll. Bob Mothersbaugh a highly underrated guitarist.

The best song live, EVER!

best version of gut feeling ever. the ending is priceless.

Still going strong over 40 years later...

the drums at the beginning of Slap Your Mammy are so raw! excellent!

Best live version of this tune I've ever heard! 🎸⚡ 🔺

Thank you for posting this. Images and video are so readily available now a lot of people forget just how much work was involved in getting live video back in the day.

Wayyyy ahead of their time. Still loving it now...

Wow...killer version of one of there best songs

My favorite by Devo ✌️🎶🖤

just great ! thanx alan, thanx devo. Band members may pass on but their music will never die, Devo is such a great source of inspiration! I discovered them in 2005 at the age of 15 and i never stopped listening to them. Devo just like Talking Heads, Silver Apples or the Residents (and many others) have the power to never get old and affect deeply any generation of monkeys. RIP

wow this rocks!

Has to be one of my favorite songs from Devo......this is my get on a highway and put my foot to the floor song. Nothing like having the windows down, and this song cranked when going 140 mph! :) Yeehaw!

I was twelve years old and listening to disco, of all things. It was only two years later that I discovered Devo,... and everything changed.

That jungle-punk metronome will echo forever. Thank you Alan!

They were such a tight band! I remember people saying to me, "How can you like that? They can't play their instruments!" I always wondered what the hell they were hearing, DEVO always sounded amazing to me!

Gotta Love anyone in 1977 who went there and dug it... true pioneers

the best devo song... and a lot of fun top play.

I had the privilege of seeing them live twice and both times they Rocked the house down.

Thanks. What a gem.

Love joy Division,love this.im from Scotland.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇸🇺🇸

This is priceless!!! DEVO was the greatest punk band ever!

This is a great tune, featured in steve zizzou, life aquatic. Growing up in cleveland we saw devo grow up as this nerdy band from kent state.
